well store it in ->i_op->check_acl and be done with that.

SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created
inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating
process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the
new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path,
just the last component of the path.
This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating
/etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these
operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some
difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops
to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new
behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it
does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name
exists it is fine to pass NULL.

Commit 57fe60df ("reiserfs: add atomic addition of selinux attributes
during inode creation") contains a bug that will cause it to oops when
mounting a file system that didn't previously contain extended attributes
on a system using security.* xattrs.
The issue is that while creating the privroot during mount
reiserfs_security_init calls reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks which
dereferences the xattr root. The xattr root doesn't exist, so we get an
oops.

The xattr_root caching was broken from my previous patch set. It wouldn't
cause corruption, but could cause decreased performance due to allocating
a larger chunk of the journal (~ 27 blocks) than it would actually use.
This patch loads the xattr root dentry at xattr initialization and creates
it on-demand. Since we're using the cached dentry, there's no point
in keeping lookup_or_create_dir around, so that's removed.

Some time ago, some changes were made to make security inode attributes
be atomically written during inode creation. ReiserFS fell behind in
this area, but with the reworking of the xattr code, it's now fairly
easy to add.
The following patch adds the ability for security attributes to be added
automatically during inode creation.

Deadlocks are possible in the xattr code between the journal lock and the
xattr sems.
This patch implements journalling for xattr operations. The benefit is
twofold:
* It gets rid of the deadlock possibility by always ensuring that xattr
write operations are initiated inside a transaction.
* It corrects the problem where xattr backing files aren't considered any
differently than normal files, despite the fact they are metadata.
I discussed the added journal load with Chris Mason, and we decided that
since xattrs (versus other journal activity) is fairly rare, the introduction
of larger transactions to support journaled xattrs wouldn't be too big a deal.

Christoph Hellwig had asked me quite some time ago to port the reiserfs
xattrs to the generic xattr interface.
This patch replaces the reiserfs-specific xattr handling code with the
generic struct xattr_handler.
However, since reiserfs doesn't split the prefix and name when accessing
xattrs, it can't leverage generic_{set,get,list,remove}xattr without
needlessly reconstructing the name on the back end.

The per-inode locking can be made more fine-grained to surround just the
interaction with the filesystem itself. This really only applies to
protecting reads during a write, since concurrent writes are barred with
inode->i_mutex at the vfs level.

The current reiserfs xattr implementation will not clean up old xattr
files if files are deleted when REISERFS_FS_XATTR is unset. This
results in inaccessible lost files, wasting space.
This patch compiles in basic xattr knowledge, such as how to delete them
and change ownership for quota tracking. If the file system has never
used xattrs, then the operation is quite fast: it returns immediately
when it sees there is no .reiserfs_priv directory.

This was a pure indentation change, using:
scripts/Lindent fs/reiserfs/*.c include/linux/reiserfs_*.h
to make reiserfs match the regular Linux indentation style. As Jeff
Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> writes:
The ReiserFS code is a mix of a number of different coding styles, sometimes
different even from line-to-line. Since the code has been relatively stable
for quite some time and there are few outstanding patches to be applied, it
is time to reformat the code to conform to the Linux style standard outlined
in Documentation/CodingStyle.
This patch contains the result of running scripts/Lindent against
fs/reiserfs/*.c and include/linux/reiserfs_*.h. There are places where the
code can be made to look better, but I'd rather keep those patches separate
so that there isn't a subtle by-hand hand accident in the middle of a huge
patch. To be clear: This patch is reformatting *only*.
A number of patches may follow that continue to make the code more consistent
with the Linux coding style.
Hans wasn't particularly enthusiastic about these patches, but said he
wouldn't really oppose them either.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
